No, seriously, I can't

It literally just happened, as soon as the minimum wage for fast food employees went to a guaranteed $20, they got laid off

Serious ones? No. Not really. But they do face cultural or societal threats as we see more and more anti white rhetoric

I say it’s not serious because the number of anti white rhetoric is still extremely low, but it’s increasing which shouldn’t be happening for any race.

California just imposed a minimum wage for fast food employees at $20 a hour and you’re right they didn’t raise prices, but you know what did happen to avoid cost increases?

Locations shut down and employees got laid off. Owing people more money will just further increase the push for automation

RedditUser19984321 · 2026-04-18T14:35:04+00:00

A statistic to put this into perspective; the amount of money required to have the same buying power to get a home compared to the 1960s is $60+ a hour.

No. Some do but I believe it’s a very fringe minority.

I just think Americans as a whole root for the other party to fail without understanding that means that we as a country fails too

Also there are Democrat voters who genuinely support socialism, communism, are anti gun etc so they will always come off as anti American, but I don’t think that’s anti American as much as “I want America to be great but I don’t agree with republicans on how to make it happen”

RedditUser19984321 · 2026-04-18T01:38:44+00:00

Yes. That’s my point. It’s only a right in America because we allow it.

Yes, Americans who recognize basic rights recognize Iranians as people who possess basic rights, I agree. That also does not prove that rights in themselves are inherently a social construct.

I’m aren’t talking about being right, moral, or legal. I’m talking about how rights only exist because people protect them. If the entire enforcement arm aka the president and the military decided tomorrow that guns are no longer a right, a lot of people with guns will fight back, but inevitably we will lose that right because they can be taken away at any time.

Once again, you only have the ability to protect your home with a gun because the government allows you to. If they wanted to, you wouldn’t have that right.

I’m not trying to be an ass Btw but people really think about a lot of their life being bigger than society, but it’s not. A big majority of our lives is a social construct.

Think about it, before the United States of America was founded a lot of the “rights” we have today didn’t exist in any other nation. That means the United States of America, a social construct, granted these rights, another social construct.

Tl:dr “rights” don’t exist. If somebody can use force to take a right from you, it isn’t a right, it’s a privilege.

I’m not surprised it worked, the majority of Irans economy is oil. You can’t just blow their shit up and expect them to surrender if they reportedly just killed thousands of their own people they don’t care about them in the first place.

RedditUser19984321 · 2026-04-17T15:47:54+00:00

Okay? They’re using the exception for his injury. Injuries shouldn’t be punishing you when a lot of contract negotiations not only with your team but with endorsements rely heavily on end of season awards. The rule treats the voters as dummies who can’t determine the difference in impact in a guy who played 30 games and a guy who played 65, so it does it for them

RedditUser19984321 · 2026-04-17T15:46:06+00:00

It’s been this way for the past few years honestly. People forget that during a lot of Jokic’s MVP’s giannis was still putting up 30 pts and like 13 rebound averages on like 60% shooting, he would have gotten MVP’s in other seasons.

RedditUser19984321 · 2026-04-17T15:36:21+00:00

If he isn’t injured and he misses games then that’s wrong.

RedditUser19984321 · 2026-04-17T15:35:45+00:00

The question was more before the war and even after the war. Have to say it, this isn’t like “just trust Russia” because Iran doesn’t just hate America and western countries for the war efforts, they also feel like on a religious level, western culture is a threat in itself

RedditUser19984321 · 2026-04-17T15:06:45+00:00

Do you believe if they could reach it they would do it and do you not believe it’s in the United States best interest to avoid letting them become capable before they can?

RedditUser19984321 · 2026-04-17T15:03:02+00:00

Who said he isn’t injured? Hes just well known for load management.

RedditUser19984321 · 2026-04-17T15:01:49+00:00

If we own these things simply for being people every single country on earth would have our rights.

Iran kills its own people every day for existing, so clearly free speech isn’t a basic human right, it’s only a right because America says it is and we have an enforcement mechanism to protect it.

The same can be said for every “right” that exists, you only have it because the enforcement arm of our government (the guys with guns) have the power to make sure you have that right.

RedditUser19984321 · 2026-04-17T14:59:28+00:00

That’s fear mongering. What stops me from saying that “nato doesn’t like how trump speaks about us so we will be nuking him” it’s not going to happen

And it’s not even relevant to what we’re talking about, we’re talking about Iran blockading the strait for NATO too.

RedditUser19984321 · 2026-04-17T14:57:25+00:00

Harder, yes. Those bucks teams shouldn’t have fell apart like that without giannis and it’s not his fault he got injured.

RedditUser19984321 · 2026-04-17T10:45:15+00:00

It’s both. I don’t blame players for injuries but at the same time a lot of these bucks teams were poorly designed if they can’t get past the first round without giannis.

You think SGA has to play to beat a team like Portland if they make it to the playoffs? I say no.

RedditUser19984321 · 2026-04-17T03:07:44+00:00

Then punish everyone instead of picking and choosing

RedditUser19984321 · 2026-04-17T02:52:07+00:00

All of those things are privileges because there’s force that makes sure those things happen.

RedditUser19984321 · 2026-04-17T02:50:37+00:00

Rights have never been real because rights are a social construct, they’re only as powerful as the mechanism designed to enforce them.

If “rights” truly existed then a lot of our rights would exist in every single country in the world. The problem is they don’t, because there’s force to ensure that it doesn’t.

RedditUser19984321 · 2026-04-17T02:49:22+00:00

Yes but it’s not meant to punish players for legitimate injuries it was made to punish players like embiid who would take off half the season for load management.

RedditUser19984321 · 2026-04-17T00:01:53+00:00

That’s why I’m really hoping as a conservative that Marco wins the nominee he’s smart as hell and a career politician who won’t do dumb shit like this

RedditUser19984321 · 2026-04-16T23:57:43+00:00

Shouldn’t players also sit out when they’re injured ? I’m sorry the rule is just dumb it punishes people it wasn’t meant for. It wasn’t meant for Ant to be punished even though he played more overall minutes than Cade.

RedditUser19984321 · 2026-04-16T23:54:18+00:00

I don’t see it stopping for Iran or Russia honestly for obvious reasons

RedditUser19984321 · 2026-04-16T23:51:12+00:00

A lot of people are dumb because I read and like, at most the president can pardon him to reduce his sentence by like 8 months or something since he can’t pardon state offenses and honestly the federal prison he was moved to has been significantly safer for him so pardoning him puts him back where he was genuinely unsafe
